Celiac.com 11/17/2023 - This gluten-free recipe comes to us from the excellent website Africabites.com, which features heaps of delicious southern and other recipes. Slow-cooked to perfection, this Pork with Pineapple and Brown Sugar Glaze offers a tantalizing fusion of sweet and savory that is sure to please. Succulent pork is bathed a luscious glaze, married with the tropical essence of pineapple, and the rich warmth of brown sugar. The result is a symphony of tastes that promises an adventure in every bite. 

Ingredients:

• 3-4 pound pork loin (not tenderloin)
• 2-3 teaspoons Creole seasoning 
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 4-5 cloves garlic, sliced
• ½ pound pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced ¼–½ inch thick
• 1 large onion, sliced

Pork Glaze:

• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions:
Trim any excessive fat from pork. A little fat will help keep the roast juicy over the long period of cooking.

Season pork with salt and pepper. Then thoroughly rub with Creole seasoning.

Slice the garlic cloves into 4-5 slices each. Then cut the pineapple into approximately ¼-inch-thick slices.

Using a small, sharp knife, make slits in the pork loin deep enough to insert the pineapple and garlic slices.

Then stuff as many pineapple and garlic slices as possible into the slits.

Line the bottom of the slow cooker with onion and pineapple slices.

Gently place the pork loin on top of the pineapple and onion slices.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.

Once the pork is tender, remove it from the slow cooker and brush it with the glaze.

Carve the pork into slices and serve each slice with the pineapples and onions, plus a couple of spoonfuls of the liquid (once you've rendered off the fat).

Pork Glaze:
About 20 minutes before the pork is ready, heat a small pan or skillet over medium heat. 

Add water, brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

When the pork is ready, brush it with the balsamic glaze. Then spoon extra balsamic glaze over each slice of pork loin when serving.
